Spectacular

Submitted 5 years ago

By Joanna Sheldon

From Chicago

They truly do look like the picture. Sturdy solid stems with lots of jumbo blooms. Like most echinacea they will give more blooms after the first year. They do love lots of sun and lots of water. I absolutely love this plant. I received many compliments from the neighbors as well since they are not really common in gardens. Always a happy customer ❤️

Showstopper

By Joanna Sheldon

From Chicago

Kinda pricey but well worth the price. The first year I got only a few blooms but the second year the blooms are at least 30-40 from 5 bare roots. They are solid sturdy healthy and up to my hip. My favorite flower in my garden. They do like lots of sun and lots of water. Thank you!!! Always a number 1 fan
